Yes because the perimeter of the bulletin is 23 feet. this is because to find perimeter you use 2(L)+2(W).
Add the two equations
since the 5x and -5x cancel out
you get y=-4
plug y=-4 into the first equation
solve for x
x=2
THE ANSWER IS: (2,-4)
The value of the digit is 2 because the value of the 3 is 30 (tens) and if you go one place down you are in the ones
I believe this is a problem dealing with proportions, so you could cross multiply and divide. so you would do 8/270 then x/72.5 , you cross multiply 72.5x8 which equals 580. then you divide that answer by 100 which equals 5.8 (:
For line l to intersect line m at point (2, 1/2), line m must have the point (2,1/2) on its graph. It is implied that line l already has the point (2, 1/2). If line m does not have it, then there will be no intersection at that specific point.
Try checking every choice to see if it has point (2,1/2) on the graph.
Note that (x,y) = (2,1/2); check by using x=2 and y=1/2.
For A,
2x = y/2
2(2) = (1/2) / 2
4 <span>≠ 1/4
</span>
Cannot be choice A as it results in a false equation; this choice will not go through (2,1/2)
For B:
2y = 3 - x
2(1/2) = 3 - 2
1 = 1
This is a true equation so the point (2,1/2) is on the graph of 2y=3-x. This means that if this is the equation for line m, then line m will have a point at (2,1/2) and therefore intersect with line l. Therefore, B is the answer.
The rest of the choices are false as shown:
For C:
2x + 4y = 8
2(2) + 4(1/2) = 8
4 + 2 = 8
6 ≠ 8
Cannot be choice C as it results in a false equation; this choice will not go through (2,1/2)
For D:
y = 4 - (5/4)x
1/2 = 4 - (5/4)(2)
1/2 = 4 - 5/2
1/2 = 8/2 - 5/2
1/2≠ 3/2
Cannot be choice D as it results in a false equation; this choice will not go through (2,1/2)
